ICU Registered Nurse (Day Shift)

Patients in this private hospital surgical ward in Germiston count on your clinical judgement every single shift. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route
• Solid knowledge of medication safety and the Nursing Act scope of practice
